Cleaning and storing
Cleaning the main unit
≥ Remove the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet before cleaning.
≥ Do not use benzine or thinner to clean the unit. Using benzine or thinner may cause deformation or peeling off of the paint of the main unit.
≥ Wipe the main unit with a soft and clean cloth. For heavy dirt, wipe with a cloth soaked in kitchen detergent diluted with water, and then with a dry cloth.
≥ When using a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions that came with the cloth.
Cautions for storage
Remove the battery from the main unit when storing. Store them in a place where humidity is low and temperature is relatively constant.
When storing the unit, it is recommended that you place a desiccant (silica gel) in with it.
≥ Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C
≥ Recommended relative humidity: 40% to 60%
∫ Main unit
≥ Wrap in a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting inside.
∫ Battery
≥ The battery life shortens where the temperature is extremely high or low.
≥ Storing in a place where there is heavy oil smoke or dust may lead to malfunctions due to rust on terminal connectors, etc.
≥ Do not let the battery terminal contact a metal object (such as a necklace or hairpin). Short circuit may occur between terminals and it may lead to heat
generation. Touching on a heated part may cause severe burns.
≥ Store the battery with electrically discharged. For long-term storage, it is recommended to charge the battery at least once a year and use it up
completely on the unit before storing it again.
≥ Remove dust and other debris that gather on the contacts of the battery.
∫ Memory card
≥ Do not allow dirt, water, or other foreign objects to get into the contacts on the back of the card.
≥ If you remove it from the unit, be sure to put it in its case.
≥ Do not place SD cards in the following areas:
jWhere corrosive gases, etc., may be generated
jIn places exposed to direct sunlight, or places with high temperatures such as near heating devices
jWhere there is excessive moisture or dust
jLocations susceptible to significant difference in temperature (condensation can occur.)
jWhere static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
